Please don't do that.  Subject is for a short summary, and in this case
the summary is so short that the question may be misunderstood.

  * Do you want to append more information to an -existing- PR?
  * Do you want to -add- a new PR to the database?

In the first case, you can just email `bug-followup@freebsd.org' using a
subject of the form:

  Re: docs/100200: summary of the PR here

In the second case, see the `Writing FreeBSD Problem Reports' article at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en-US.ISO8859-1/articles/problem-reports/

It is impolite to expect someone responding to a message to
have to go back to the subject line like this.

is a very inadequate and somewhat tersely offensive.   
It certainly does not help those with a text based Email reader 
that does not show the subject in the included text for a response.

which mail reader do you have in mind?
I use mail and mutt, and I'm happy with simple questions in subject.

To each his own, I guess.  In the case of a one-liner question
which is adequately asked in the Subject, some of us find it a bit
annoying to see the same question repeated as the only body line.

I'd expect it to have been reused
